  1. Well let's not get crazy about it. "Like" is a strong word. :rofl:

  2. :signs011: The 30-Day Focus Thread is my favorite. I find my technique has improved with both SE and DE razors. I enjoyed the antics, winced at the fails, and have become a big fan of the 30-Day Crew. I'm ready for December.

  4. Fails? What fails? I don't see any fails. Always perfect shaves, 100% of the time.

  6. Then you really should try the Tiger 3H blade. When I tried one, I really felt I was living in a post-apocalyptic world where I had to shave with the lid of a ration tin honed on a bit of rubble.

    That said, I have to agree with you about the focuses. I did one back in October and it really improved my technique and understanding of my face.

  7. Cuts? What cuts? I don't recall any cuts. Never here. Nope, denying they even exist. :shocked002:

  8. The only thing worse would be doing a clean up pass after the Tiger with a Flying Eagle.

  12. I'll take his word for it, since he sent them to me. ;) Which ever one, I do like it. I am in danger of not needing a shave tomorrow, except one or two little, tiny patches. This was probably more of a DFS + shave, minus the two patches.

  13. I have shaved with one of the tigers. I would prefer the rusty can lid. It would cut better leaving me with a more comfortable shave.

  14. I'm Thinking about using a Gem featherlight with a SS PTFE coated blade tonight with Chisled Face Tradewinds. I'll decide on aftershave before I get there.

  15. :signs011: Yeah the 30-day mantra - "technique, technique, technique" blah, blah blah.

    I'm here cause I just can't get enough of that photo above with MrC and the 30Day Crew! I've long wondered how @NCoxSTL , center at top, shaves that huge crevasse between his cheekbone and jaw? I mean, how do you flatten that out?!! :eek:

    Congrats on all the posts Brian! Great to read all your posts here, and happy that you're hanging in there with this gang.
    :hooray:

    Automatic! 18F and a super slow day on the prairie. Other than that...all is quiet in Colorado.

  18. I like you all enough to support the use of questionable items to shave with, and the sharing of the fun. I will encourage fun things like straights for everyone. (And the ones I am willing to loan this group are sharpened and disinfected, so I must like you guys a little bit.

  19. Cuts aren't as bad as in appropriately applied menthol. I'll call that one a fail.
  20. Ok. I'll give you that one. You earned it!
